Guptill also revealed one bowler he would love to face on the cricket field.

He highlighted the intense battles he has had with Pandya over the years and expressed his admiration for the Indian cricketer’s skills.

“I would want to face Hardik Pandya. We have had some amazing battles over the years,” added Guptill.
